I'd say that, while those drugs may factor, they are likely a small factor compared to simple bad accounting.
Uganda is a shithole country with a worse than useless government. I used to have a kid I sponsored from there and back then they had some of the highest HIV rates in the world. We knew this because NGO accounting, not government accounting.
Clearly nobody is offering them any incentives to have Covid cases or deaths. Otherwise those numbers would be higher.
I also doubt that they have as high a population of fat old people who are only alive because of medication and 24/7 assistance from nurses.
That said. I think basically ignoring Covid (aside from the normal attention we give the seasonal flu or pneumonia, ect), like they have, would have been the best practice of the entire world. Our numbers would, like theirs probably are, be artificially low instead of so obviously artificially high and the world would not reeling from insane government overreach. It might have shown up as a high flu year.
Granted Amazon, Home Depot, Walmart, and companies making hand sanitizer and PPE would not like this. Nor would the politicians carrying those stocks in their portfolios, but I am fine with all of them suffering.
The executive branch is not supposed to be the top.
Maybe this is not the case in the UK and maybe Whine-stein forgot this after 8= years of masturbating to Obama posters, but the US model is supposed to be a division of powers. Not a hierarchy.
Tasers are a joke. They work on the kind of people that you never need to use them on.
The guy has a record of incidents involving guns, so maybe that is a factor in why the assumption was made that he was going for one.
What would you do if a gun is pointed at you? I generally turn on my listening ears and give them my full attention.
I don't see the justification for you having to risk injury to yourself fighting with a person who, when threatened with a gun, and given a lawful order essentially tells you to fuck off. He's telling you his life is worthless. Why argue with him?
Another big difference is that the blue collar worker is often too tired and preoccupied to leverage things via politics while the hedge fund dealer has the time between hands and thanks to having the funds for other people to raise their kids, do their landscaping, and deliver their groceries does. So the former is a good target for a certain brand of politician that is doing "for" them...., which, of course, is a lie.
Nice job, Frank. From America's trusted source for factual information, Yahoo!

Maybe they'd be worth studying. I think the problem with them is that they are already cheap, available, and have already been studied.
Now you're sounding like a fool, George. I suspect you have never been tased.Quote:

If you are assuming the cops knew his history with guns, once again: Why Did They Let Him Go Back To The Car??????? They fucked this up.Quote:

I don't either. That's why I'm not a cop.Quote:

I find this style of "journalism" to be superfluous and pedestrian. I understand it as a stylistic choice if someone is doing a human interest story on a 90 year-old man running a marathon or a story of two young girls running an impressively successful lemonade stand. However, this is a story about a world-affecting illness. I'm not here for the emotion. I want some facts.
You mentioned it earlier, Rip, that every major network writes in this way. Why do you think the market place decided this is a good way to write articles?
I'm not sure that the market decided this. I think journalists are and have always been people of very average IQs who are somehow regarded as intelligent (see Don Lemon), and most of them are not capable of writing at a higher level. So this just happens to be what you get from Yahoo! As long as people of average intelligence are happy with this pablum, it will continue, but I don't see an active demand for it.
That's very clever, what you did with his name.
He's not proposing any change to the relationship between the branches of government. It's just a candidacy/campaign proposal, that's part of the elegance of it.
I'm sure you don't mean to say that the POTUS isn't the leader of the country. I'm sure you wouldn't be suggesting that the office of President is equal in terms of leadership to that of Speaker of the House, Leader of the Majority in the Senate, or a Supreme Court Justice.
Because someone would have to be a total fucking idiot to suggest that.
If you have anything to say about the substance of the proposal, that would be fine too.
